http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754112if it’s going to be something that’s “worse than the death penalty”, it would have to not only drop them to the bottom of the big 10, i’d think it would have to drop them to almost anonymity:

definitely a combination of those two. i’m wondering if the NCAA would have the balls to say “no TV for 3-5 years” too.

i’m just wondering if i’m really going to say “WOW!” after the announcement. cause that’s the level of punishment it’s being reported as.

Didn’t think about the TV thing. Good point. I think if they reduce the amount of scholarships enough, that could give a “WOW!” factor, as that would have a huge long-term effect. PSU would (hopefully) be buried at the bottom of the Big 10 for a while.

Oh, and eat a dick, Lester. Fucking home run on the first pitch he throws.

he and beckett keep getting shelled in the first inning. No movement on their pitches. Extremely predictable and infuriating

My guess would be no bowls for an extended period of time (5+ years) and a MASSIVE reduction in scholarships (to the point that it would essentially cripple recruiting). I have no idea how many scholarships are granted for football, but let’s a reduction of at least half, if not more.

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754107Here’s the link to the story that mentioned about the “death penalty” maybe being preferable.

The penalties, however, are considered to be so harsh that the death penalty may have been preferable, the source said.

wondering what others are thinking as we get ready for tomorrow’s announcement.

Something I was reading (I’ll see if I can find it) said that even though it most likely won’t be the “death penalty”, it could actually be worse.

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754103FUCK. I can’t believe I turned this shit off an hour ago. Wow. Can someone give me a quick rundown of how badly Scott choked this away?

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754101Wow. I turned it on like 45 minutes ago just as SVP was saying “looks like it’s just a matter of time for Scott”. Brutal.

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754098I hope he stiffs the approach

Wasn’t Ernie using one for a while? It’d be amazing for Els to win, basically making one putt the entire tourney, on the 72nd hole.

Yeah – Ern used the belly putter for a while. He’s playing with the standard putter this week.

Seriously – R&A/USGA need to get on this shit and ban the longer putters for everything but the senior tours/events.

Let’s go Big Ern. Need Scott to finish off the Van De Velde tribute on 18.

/team ban the long putter

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754094Scott absolutely dead in the bunker on 18. Will need up and down from the fairway (150 yds or so) just to stay in the playoff.

Then entering this thread solely to post that comment was surely a great use of your time.

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754088How many straight comments do I need for this to become the active thread again, or do I just wait for the playoff post???

Scott in trouble on 17, up 1.

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754086McDowell is a stone cold killer and has the back nine to chase down Scott. A playoff would favor GMac considerably IMO.

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754084Nice putt by Els there for par. He’s had a great tourney, and just couldn’t buy a putt. Nice to see him rising to the top today.

http://www.thebiglead.com/?p=197072#comment-754083You have Scott, Ernie, Tiger, and Oosty in the top 5 among others (tied). That’s some of the best ball strikers which is what you want validated in an Open championship. Add in GMAC who is a high stakes player. Props to R&A and Lytham.
